Manager: Craig Counsell (third season)
Who's new? 1B Eric Thames, 3B Travis Shaw, C Jett Bandy, RHP Neftali Feliz, RHP Joba Chamberlain, LHP Tommy Milone
Who's gone? 1B Chris Carter, C Martin Maldonado, OF Rymer Liriano, RHP Tyler Thornburg, RHP Blaine Boyer, LHP Chris Capuano
Projected lineup: 2B Jonathan Villar (.285, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 62 SB), SS Orlando Arcia (.219, 4, 17), LF Ryan Braun (.305, 30, 91, 16), 1B Eric Thames (.317, 40, 118, 13 SBs in Korea), RF Domingo Santana (.256, 11, 32), 3B Travis Shaw (.242, 16, 71 with Red Sox), CF Keon Broxton (.242, 9, 19, 23 SB), C Jett Bandy (.234, 8, 25 with Angels)
Rotation: Junior Guerra (9-3, 2.81 ERA), Zach Davies (11-7, 3.97), Matt Garza (4-8, 4.51), Wily Peralta (7-11, 3.86), Jimmy Nelson (8-16, 4.62) or Chase Anderson (9-11, 4.39) or Tommy Milone (3-5, 5.71 with Twins)
Key relievers: RHP Neftali Feliz (4-2, 3.52 with Pirates), RHP Corey Knebel (1-4, 4.68), RHP Carlos Torres (3-3, 2.73), RHP Jhan Marinez (0-1, 3.22), RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 2.25 with Indians), RHP Jacob Barnes (0-1, 2.70), RHP Tyler Cravy (0-1, 2.86)
Hot spot: Fifth starter. Guerra and Davies began last season in the minors, then emerged as pleasant surprises in an otherwise long season. Now the Brewers have seven candidates for five rotation jobs. Nelson, who's led the staff in innings the last two years, might be wary of his two minor league options if he struggles out of the gate.
Outlook: No team was more active on the bases last season than the Brewers, whose 181 steals were the most by any team since 2009. Villar, Broxton and Hernan Perez were the primary thieves, and all return. The front office curiously chose not to bring back Carter after a 41-home run season. His replacement is Thames, who hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2012. Hitter-friendly Miller Park will do no favors to their pedestrian pitching staff, but the Brewers aren't expected to contend for at least another couple seasons. At least their offense will be entertaining in the meantime. | | WASHINGTON: Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning. |
| | Brewers, Nats square off in clash of division leaders
WASHINGTON -- With a string of losses, the Milwaukee Brewers are in danger of undoing the good work they did in the first half of the season. With a next-man-up mentality, the Washington Nationals continue to roll despite a string of injuries. The two division leaders meet Tuesday in a series featuring teams that seem to be headed in opposite directions. The reeling Brewers (53-48) have seen their National League Central lead dissipate and are just a half-game ahead of the Chicago Cubs after losing seven of their past eight. Milwaukee will turn to Zach Davies (11-4, 4.76 ERA) for the series opener against the Nationals. The young right-hander has been the Brewers' best pitcher, and he is tied for fourth in the National League in wins. Davies, who is 1-0 in two career starts against the Nationals, said the Brewers have not placed a greater emphasis on this series despite the worthy opponent. "I really think it's game to game for guys," Davies told reporters. "Each guy has a great mentality in that he's not looking ahead to the next game. That's one thing to keep you in the right mindset." The Nationals return home after an impressive 7-2 road trip through Cincinnati, Anaheim and Arizona. They will turn to well-traveled Edwin Jackson, who looks to improve on an impressive first start in his second stint with Washington. He gave up just two runs in seven innings during a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on July 18. Jackson (1-0, 2.57 ERA with Washington; 1-0, 4.50 overall) has faced Milwaukee 18 times in his career, going 6-7 with a 3.42 ERA in 15 starts. "My biggest thing has always been walks, walks, walks, behind in the count and walks, and then you get a big hit," he told MLB.com. "I've just been trying to focus on coming out and putting an attack on hitters and make them put the ball in play." Jackson could be a valuable addition to a team that has been hit with a spate of injuries, the latest occurring when All-Star Stephen Strasburg left his start Sunday after two innings and reliever Enny Romero sustained back spasms. Washington has nine players on the disabled or bereavement list, forcing manager Dusty Baker to do some juggling. Still, the Nationals have the second-best record in the NL and are 12 1/2 games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the East. "You try not to think negative about anything," Baker said. "It's like, 'OK, boys, we know we've got a problem.' So the next thing is, we've got to try to figure out how to get out of the problem. You know you've got a problem, but you've got to figure out how to get out of it." The Brewers need to figure out something fast, especially with a series against the Cubs looming after they play the Nationals. Milwaukee is hitting just .249 after the All-Star break, and its team ERA during that 10-game stretch is 4.73. "The challenge is to be in first place after 162, not after 100," Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun said. "We've put ourselves in a good position. We have a challenging schedule ahead, and the goal remains to be in this position 62 games from now." |
